figures wrong[edit]
"In the winter of 1939–1940, Finnish troops encircled in a series of coordinated assaults approx. 50,000 Red army soldiers in the Battle of Suomussalmi with Soviet casualties exceeding over 30,000, while Finnish casualties stayed relatively low, approx. 1,000 soldiers (estimates vary). Escaping Red army soldiers abandoned hundreds of weapons and vehicles which were later used by the Finnish forces."
yet the Battle of Suomussalmi article says the Soviet strength was "Total: 29,816" - so the figures are wrong somehow. 88.112.31.26 (talk) 00:33, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
